    Why do we keep worshipping the old Gods?

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Goa trance had grace,style and soul, neo goa and everything psytrance related since 2003 (i was a minimal/tech trance whore)

    imo was uninspiring and boring, with a few exeptions ofc.

    the game has changed, even after the fall of goa, during the  late 90's artists would

    still experiment, had a special sound signature to different them from other artists and had the urge to evolve and explore, eveything since is simply

    directed to (this is going to be harsh) 12 hours at a festival with a big soundsystem, fences, youtube videos of 'look at me im intrance, like, share #hashtag's

    with tons of money to artist who used to make great music 15 years ago when they were broke, but now are living the dream with a lot of money, airplaines

    and rockstar attitudes.

    I Was never apart of the whole goa trance revival thing, im sorry but i couldnt care much for watching asia  2001/gnotr/koxbox whatever live. 

    they released great music that will forever be immortalized in my heart, but my search is for meaningfull music, the kind i can listen to at HOME

    and be immersed and blown away.

    Im not saying everything is bad, i do enjoy some stand out releases since the fall of goa, even in the neo-goa front i have a few artists with my eye on (artifakt303,ufomatka)

    but (no offence) the rest of it is simply boring and  unoriginal.

    it seems newer music is directed to big festivals only, and not for the standard trancer who needs his brain be stimulated first in order to dance>go into a trance state.

    So, old gods ? they nailed it, the psytrance scene ? has lost it's way, and im affraid my fate as an optimistic person in its nature

    is to keep hoping for something new everytime i press 'play' on something releated to psytrance.

    but hey, people are dancing, what the hell do i know ?

    "V/A - ZNA Gathering - A Retrofuturistic Compilation

    in 2017

    Posted

    I Love this compilation, happy some of those gems finally seen the light of day after

    all those years.

    With all those puny re-issues and uninspired psytrance/neo goa we had this year from big lables, so far, this is one

    of the only releases i enjoyed this year in the goa/'retro'/psytrance department.

    2017 is a dull year so far, filled with boring releases, this compilation is not one of them imo.

    V/A - Aarhus by Night [Parvati Records]

    in 2017

    Posted

    I Have (had?) a love/hate relationship with Parvati records.

    Early danish psy was super crazy, early unreleased stuff from Grapes of Wrath/Metaloids, Jahbo

    and all the other gang were some intense hyper active psychedelia.

    And boy was i pumped when GOW announced an album was in the pipeline, pressing play

    on tits on fire was like the saddest thing ever.

     

    It all sounded so dead and soul-less, mastering wise ofc, i was pissed off.

    Even till this day when i play the album i feel sad for what could that album be if the sound

    was true to the GOW theme of the early days.

    Fure releases gave me that same feeling of "everything under the parvati lable sounds the same", but same

    artist on other releases were killing it.

     

    I Stopped buying Parvati releases and lost any connection with what they released untill a few years ago, while listening 

    to some compilations they released, happy i gave the lable another shot, i no longer hear that "Tits on Fire" sound.

     

    "XV" is one of my favorite compilations they released a two years ago (super recommended!)

     

    When parvati announced "Aarhus by Night" celebrating years of danish psy, i must say i was hyped for this one, oh yes i was !!

     

    This compilation is a night time fucking treat from start to finish.

     

    Red Eye Jedey/Jah tracks are out of this world.

     

    We even have a special surprise from half of GOW, Jaffa Syntax Error, with a brand new track, only 7 years since his last track released, teaming up with another 

    interesting cat, Mubali, providing a funky hypnotic track, good stuff.

     

    Abrahadabra/Audhumbla tracks are 'experimentalish', less headbanging, organic and very hypnotic.

    will Defanently put my third eye on those guys (and gal) upcoming music. 

     

    Closing this compilation are the Derango archmasters, two swedes on a danish compilation, providing

    us with an unreleased track from back in the day, i was expecting some 'Tumult' hyper diving sounds, but

    what we get here is a slowed down, gothic and developing fairytale, with a freaking melody (ka sol style).

    An intresting and odd track.

    Derango never released a bad track. ever.

     

    Ace ace stuff right there.

     

    If you'r into night time music, get this. 

    It's super worth every second of your time.

     

     

    Side note : I hate the cover art, i hate the text(hell, i loved the Cryptic Crunch cover)

    But this sould have been way more sexier imo, but the music is top notch.

    FS/FT Asia 2001 - Psykadelia (Trans'Pact Productions)

    in For Sale/ Trade

    Posted

    And on a side note, replying in another person topic, about the price and how you think its out of proportion, is rude.

    The fact that you own this release, and paid less for it, does NOT give you the claim, to go into

    other topics and interfere with them trying to sell it/trade it.

     

    But hey, with today's facebook mentality spiced up with a little israeli rudeness in it, what can one expect.
